DESCRIPTION Shortly after leaving the market town of Pocklington in the direction of the Yorkshire Wolds you catch a glimpse of the white façade of Northfield House tucked away amongst mature trees bordering the open countryside. The entrance gate opens to a long winding driveway presently showing the first signs of spring with an abundance of Daffodils and Snowdrops either side.
With stunning far reaching views of the Wolds countryside from every direction the property enjoys a large plot extending to just under 3 acres. We are informed by the present owners that the gardens and woodland copse are home also to an array of wildlife including pheasants, badgers, owls, and birds of prey. Deer are sighted regularly from the kitchen window.
Northfield House has been in its time a farm house and has evolved over the years as a home for generations to create many happy family and social memories. There is still a lot of scope for further development with the range of outbuildings and barns subject to necessary planning permission.
GROUND FLOOR Step inside a side entrance porch with tiled flooring and doors to both utility/boiler house and inner hall with cloakroom and w/c. The ground floor offers a wealth of accommodation and on first viewing it is a case of exploring which room hides behind each door. The boiler room is part of one of the outbuildings and serves as a utility with plumbing for washing machine. Above is a storage area which backs onto the bathroom and could potentially be converted into living accommodation.
The property offers fabulous entertaining space with five reception rooms comprising dining room, living room, sun room, snooker room/bedroom four and play room.
